I'm confused...

Well its kinda like but exaclty like Photographers vs photogs ...................


But I'd have to say that in a Model vs Model match up I'd like to see
Fabio vs Naomi Campbell, I think she'd kick his ass...

And what would   their forum be ..the highfashion  runway or the cover of some pulpy romance novel ..Shed  kick his ass in both

2) Someone who posts to "get off " in some other way

3) or both of the above

posterbate: verb. to write posts online for the primary purpose of hearing yourself type. If you look, most of the people with high post counts are posterbators. They have a need to relieve themselves, and if anyone else wants to play around, that is fine, but the primary need to is 'get out' your thoughts on a variety of subjects or threads. This usually happens in spurts....all of a sudden, your posting goes from interactive, to just posting everywhere. Happens sporadically. There are a few minor posterbators out there, and a few obsessive ones. A posterbation addict is easy to spot based on the reddened tips of their fingers from so much typing.

Basically one who posts to an excessive degree. I think its just a stage of being an MM member...sadly some of us don't grow out of it...

We also have some technical definiton issues here.

While posterbators often have the highest ppd or PQ, Brian Diaz would have to have several of his posts removed as they are actual information disseminated to other members.

the definiton of posterbating is that your primary purpose of posting is to amuse yourself. Often it helps if you get a few other people involved so it is a mutual posterbation kind of thing, but if the primary purpose is to actually inform someone of something, then it is not technically posterbating. The biggest posterbators lounge in off-topic most of the time.

Here is my posterbation attempt with a little Mai dtem baht thrown in.
2 days left.

If I hadn't sniffed all that model airplane glue, I'd probably have a real life now.  Instead, I take pictures of pretty girls.  Not that I'm complaining.

What I enjoy about these forums is the ablility to discuss fashion ( and  non fashion ) topics with poeple ( pros and not ) form around the world ( though I may be interested more in what a  Photographer in Paris has to say than what a fetish ie Duct tape photog in the Deep South has to say )  ...I have tried/launched a number of topics in an  effort to start some interesting discussion - some  have succeeded some not , Ive also learned a few things.. ie Porn ( or AManda Lapore )  is a more popular subject than high fashion , a lot of people think they "know " celibrities such as Paris Hilton and can make judgements , and a fair number of American respondents think if a discussion re racial issues is bought up - I am "inciting 'Racism ...So I have learned a bit through this "posterbating "process ....i may continue ,I may not

Nah, you are hooked, but it is okay.

We all die sometime, and I don't think the afterlife has internet, so, eventually you will be off the hook.

Thankyou,  I feel better now.
I did do modeling full time once,  now I do do photography but I still do do modeling from time to time.

See I am wearing black and white.  It is a called a Tux,  I hang with the trust fund crowd.

It may have but there is a commercial I keep seeing with the theme "life comes at you fast".....a shot of a young woman and fabio is the gondolier in venice and the voice over sounds like a legit shampoo ad for Fabio Shampoo.....really begin to think that it's for real....until they go under this small bridge and everything goes into shadow.....when they come out she looks up expecting to see Fabio....and it's this old wrinkled guy......that's when you find out it's an insurance commercial....pretty good ad.....and Fabio still looks pretty good...not sure how old he is by now.....but still good.....

Well I guess if we accept your definition - we gotta rule Giselle , LInda Evangalista  , Yasmeen  Ghauri , and  others out of the Model category.
doesnt seem right does it ?
